I have been smoking for about 26 years now. I tried to quit about 21 years ago, but failed drastically. I have cut back in the last three years to one pack of cigarettes every 3 to 5 days. Today was a very stressful day at work and I thought, "man this is not a good time to quit". No matter what day it is or how the day is going, it will always seem like any day is not a good day to quit. I'm still quitting and not giving up.
